Though few officers will confess to lying -- after all, it's a crime -- work by researchers and a 1990s commission appointed to examine police corruption shows there's a tacit agreement among many officers that lying about how evidence is seized keeps criminals off the street.In their zeal to keep our streets safe from the "bad guys," some LEOs will pull out all the stops, even if it means becoming a "bad guy" themselves.
